I'm paralyzingl myself trying to analyze this stuff because I feel like I need to find the guy who knows to tell me to plant a lemon plant in my backyard so I can claim my property as an agricultural production facility and get a million dollar tax benefit for that year.  

One of our best tenants (a tenant who plants grass and fertilizes it!)

The ONLY way to reliably get in touch with actually motivated sellers is for you to make it extremely easy for them to find you.When you get bitten by a rattlesnake are you going to plant your bumm next to the mailbox hoping someone will send you a DMM on what to do when you get bitten by a rattlesnake?

Some people leave them open and place candles, plants, etc.

Most of the “human waste” is turned into fertilizer which can be used for plants.

@Skye Penland    I think DFW still looks strong....depending on your views I heard something the other day that I had not ever heard of before or thought of before, but one really good economic advisor said...if you are a company looking to put in a manufacturing plant, or some other type of business, do you want to go to NY, NJ, CA, Chicago, etc...that are very labor friendly or do you want to go to a right to work state like Texas?   

Quote from @Vincent Plant: I purchased each for $62K.

The owner of the lot calls me up later letting me know that there is concrete batch plant (CBP) permit pending on the adjacent lot which shares the common boundary. 

Project Phoenix is complete and it was packed yesterday. 29 Palms tends to draw more of a party crowd and has a lot less desert plants.
